NEWTON LE WILLOWS, MERSEYSIDE Introduction Charles Tayleur, a Liverpool engineer, founded the Vulcan Foundry at Newton-le-Willows in 1830. In 1832 Robert Stephenson, the railway engineer, joined him in partnership. In 1847 they took over the Bank Quay Foundry in Warrington and in 1852 built their first sea-going iron vessel, the clipper Tayleur, which was tragically wrecked off Dublin in 1854 en route to Australia. The partnership was incorporated as a private company in 1864 as the Vulcan Foundry Co., Ltd. Vulcan locomotives were exported all over the world, with the first locomotives for Russia and Japan supplied in 1837 and 1871 respectively. During World War II the factory built the "Waltzing Matilda" tank and in 1944 Vulcan acquired another locomotive business, Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns Ltd., based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. With the demise of steam, Vulcan turned to diesel and electric locomotives, in conjunction with the English Electric Co., Ltd., becoming full members of that group of companies in 1955. The English Electric Co., Ltd., became part of the G.E.C. group in 1968. In 1970 Rushton Paxton Diesels Ltd., became the manager of G.E.C. Diesels Ltd., and today occupies the Vulcan works.

  • British Engineering in the Twentieth Century.Doc Page 1 of 2 the British
    British Engineering in the Twentieth Century.doc Page 1 of 2 The British Thomson Houston company was formed in 1896, though its roots date back some ten years earlier. Manufacturing in the UK started in Rugby in March 1902 with a factory of 206,000 sq. ft. The plant produced its first turbo-alternator in 1905 and in 1907 BTH engaged in a joint venture with Wolseley Motors to construct petrol-electric buses. 1909 saw the Company involved in providing electrical equipment for the first trolley buses in London. From day one, the company was connected with the manufacture of incandescent lamps. In 1911 they obtained all the GE patents for drawn-wire tungsten filaments and the Mazda trade mark. Leading up to the Second World War, BTH was heavily involved in jet engine design and when the war began it manufactured magnetos, compressors, switchgear and was involved in the development of radar. On the 1st January 1960 BTH and Metropolitan Vickers were merged into AEI (Associated Electrical Industries Limited) and the BTH and MV names were lost forever in the world of electrical engineering. The American-owned firm British Westinghouse was responsible for the formation of Metropolitan-Vickers. MV was established in 1899 and located in Trafford Park, Manchester. This was an industrial area that became the focal point of many of MV’s activities. Metrovick was particularly successful in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand and, in 1922 alone, provided £1 million worth of railway traction equipment to South Africa. The 1920s was a period of considerable development for Metrovick with technical advances in the manufacture of turbines, generators, switchgear and industrial motors.
